...............One of the more interesting deploying stories came from NEC. This Japan-based member NEP is providing GGSN (Gateway GPRS Serving Node) and SGSN (Servicing GPRS Serving Node) CGL-based server nodes to major Asian Carriers. NEC has already deployed over 100 nodes servicing over 10 million subscribers. These deployments have been in a commercial setting for over six months. Based on this positive experience, NEC's customers have plans to implement other nodes in their mobile infrastructure using the sample platform architecture (see Figure 12) based on COTS hardware and CGL. BT Case Study Another deployment story comes from British Telecom Global who has been running a pilot project in Belgium for a COTS-based platform to provide voice services. The architecture of the platform is shown in Figure 13 and has Carrier Grade Linux as a core component. The pilot project has been successful and the platform has been providing service in a mission-critical environment for months.................. **************** ***************************** Kiggundu Mukasa # Computer Network Consultancy### KYM-NET LTD. # Intranets & Internet Solutions# Plot 80 Kanjokya Street P.O.
